“Number one, carbon taxes will kill a billion people over a decade,” Jones said. “If you cut off energy to the world over 10 years it’ll kill off a billion people or more. [President Barack] Obama’s told them, you can’t have cars, you can’t have air conditioning, you can’t have medicine, you can’t have anything.”

The Pope said late last week that global warming was a “mostly” man-made phenomenon, saying that humanity “has slapped nature in the face.”

Jones also accused news outlets of giving this Pope a pass on his statements comparing insulting a person’s religion to insulting his mother.

“He goes out and hugs old people and people with diseases, and the mainstream media that normally attacks Catholics — I’m sure you’ve noticed — [and] attacks different Popes suddenly is in love with this Pope,” Jones argued, saying the media “endorses everything he has to say and do, knowing he’d come out for a world council of religions and come out for an ecumenical movement and come out for restricting free speech.”
